The tasty guitar thread

I came across this amazing guitar while looking for info on the old ebony / ivory necks found on old Stauffer / Martins, and just wanted to share it. The effort involved is staggering.

I figured it was a good excuse to have a tasty guitar thread.

You can see lots of images at https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/503932

This is what I was originally pondering over. Image taken from http://www.earlymartin.com/stauffer.html

My favorite ‘tasty’ guitars after Santos etc are the Stradivari guitars
